rgaz83 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 When putting in a request to have something for later, whether it's a table at a restaurant, a hotel room, or something else, the act is making a reservation. The present-tense version is 'reserve': "I will reserve that table for 4 for tomorrow."I hear a LOT of people who speak English natively saying "res-er-vate". This is wrong. Perhaps it makes more sense, in a way, but you do not "reservate" anything; you "reserve" it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosa Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I've never really heard anyone use the term before. It could be that they don't know better or that it is a family or region practice done informally :doubtful:. Hopeful, users of this forum have learnt something or are been reminded of the correct word to use when requesting something be saved.
